Here is my last pattern. Any idea why I would be missing my shots?

Try turning your shell 180 degrees when loading your gun?

Shooting the paper, we all are calm, controlling beathing taking very careful aim, squeezing trigger nice and smooth.
But in the moment, all that can go to crap.
We've all done it. Dont give up youll get him.

I would say because you are shooting turkey loads and that is obviously a very large ptarmigan with a snood. You are welcome. :toothy9:

"Antique blond hair",...I will be using that one as my future self-description. :D
As for your earlier post, it was indeed sound advice,...but would probably not have helped in the referenced case. (I just figured you had not looked closely at the picture to begin with) ;D

Don't feel bad, I didn't notice it at first either. As far as your antique hair goes, at least you still have hair...unlike some of us. ;D

I will tell you something, I can't shoot paper to save my life, you put down a tin can or something and I can hit it but I simply can't his the center mark on paper even with gun vise. I normally have a friend sight my gun it and then see how I do from there. I did learn I tend to hit bottom left from everybody else that has shot my guns, I adjust the scope for that and I am golden on tin cans. Not so bad with shotgun but I am still not good on paper for some reason. I have had 5 surgeries on my eyes in my lifetime so I am not at all shocked by it.
